About InnArchive

Years ago the magazine HOTELS termed global hoteliers as men and women having work experience on 3 continents. As readers we were in awe of these greats, whose knowledge and experience must have been phenomenal. Such wealth in knowledge, so rich in experience and so venerable, we - a younger generation trying to make their bones in the hospitality industry - revered them all.

These pioneers have mostly retired, their knowledge shared with only a few lucky ones. Valuable notes are left in boxes hidden in atticks or thrown away deemed useless and outdated.

Hence the decision to share and share alike. When visiting InnArchive readers will find lots of documents which hold as true today as they did 30 years ago. The principles on which our industry is founded has not changed much, and if it is genuine care and comfort you seek to provide you will hopefully find some guidance in these pages.

Following years of travel it is clear that the foundation on which most big hotel chains, and succesfull smaller operations, are build is basically the same; a good set of policies and procedures to guide employees. Sadly the boom in our industry has taken its toll on training and guiding employees in middle and upper management and most employees in those categories are left to find things out for themselves. So when they need to write a policy or come up with a business plan they have to search for information elsewhere.

The internet is a tremendous tool to share worldwide and InnArchive's aim is simply to connect and help young hoteliers and seasoned professionals to provide better service and essentially running better operations.
